When current passes through a wire, an electromagnetic field is formed. As that field changes, forming or collapsing, it creates electromotive force which can cause electrons in nearby conductors to move. This is how induction works. Transformers work through mutual induction, where current passes through a primary coil and INDUCES current in a secondary coil. In this way, power can be transferred and transformed without needing a physical, electrical connection. Check out the video as Karen dives deeper into the science of why and how this works as well as the uses for transformers.</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: core, current, e14presents_makerkaren, magnetic field, alternating current, step down, turns, laminations, permeability, three phase, coil, induction, inductor, flux, step up, Single Phase, electromotive force</div> https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/thelearningcircuit/w/documents/23198/how-do-transformers-work----the-learning-circuit-97/revision/1Tue, 09 Nov 2021 01:54:48 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:bcc11918-eb18-42c2-a6a5-c6bb694e7cd6tariq.ahmadhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/thelearningcircuit/w/documents/23198/how-do-transformers-work----the-learning-circuit-97#commentsRevision 1 posted to Documents by tariq.ahmad on 11/9/2021 1:54:48 AM<br /> <div style="background:#ffffff;padding:14px 16px 16px 18px;margin:0;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #dadada;"><div style="float:left;display:inline-block;padding:0px 25px 8px 0px;"><a href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/"><img alt="element14 presents" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2018/e14PresentsJune818.png" width="180px" /></a></div><div style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:70%;"><span style="font-size:18px;font-weight:bold;">How Do Transformers Work?</span><p style="margin:0;"><span><a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/thelearningcircuit/">The Learning Circuit</a></span> <strong>|</strong> <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/">element14 presents</a> <strong>|</strong>&nbsp; <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/project-videos/">Project Videos</a></p></div></div><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"></p><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqESu1Z2jB8">www.youtube.com/watch</a></span><p style="margin:0;"></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;background-color:#e9f6fc;padding:8px;max-width:744px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">In this video, Karen talks about how transformers work.
